Do you want a self-contained system that just bolts in or do you want a more complex solution that requires more maintenance and setup? _________________ - Jim

for now a self contained system sounds good. Just cause im a network engineer and never home so I dont want something super high end that I wont enjoy.... _________________ Antec Nine Hundred case - COOLER MASTER Pro1000w

Cooling the chipset as well is not feasible with a single 12v DC pump (though 2 won't help much either, a whole other loop would be needed). The whole loop will have it's hands full with just the quad core CPU and a single GPU, let alone the second you have adding more restriction.
I wouldn't bother with a kit though, I think with cooling that much you'll want to look for waterblocks that are less restrictive.
It also begs the question, do you have room for a triple fan radiator? Wanting to mount it internally or externally?

Thats what I was thinking, I was thinking water blocks would be the way to go. Especially in my case, which I am looking for a replacement the Antec nine hundred is way too small.
Thanks for all the info.... Helped a lot _________________ Antec Nine Hundred case - COOLER MASTER Pro1000w
